I’m trying to study for my exam but Alexander the Great is quite a broad topic... how would you question this for an essay?

Hi - we as mods have approved this thread, because while this is a homework question, it is asking for clarification or resources, rather than the answer itself, which is fine according to our rules. This policy is further explained in this Rules Roundtable thread and this META Thread.

As a result, we'd also like to remind potential answerers to follow our rules on homework - please make sure that your answers focus appropriately on clarifications and detailing the resources that OP could be using.

Additionally, while users may be able to help you out with specifics relating to your question, we also have plenty of information on /r/AskHistorians on how to find and understand good sources in general. For instance, please check out our six-part series, "Finding and Understanding Sources", which has a wealth of information that may be useful for finding and understanding information for your essay.

I don’t know whether this might help, but the Alexander the Great questions in my recent University exams were “Did Alexander the Great deserve the title ‘the Great’ from his merits on the battlefield?” and the other one was “what were the significant cultural impacts that Alexander’s conquest had upon Near East and beyond”
